"Hey, I seemed to have heard faint footsteps just now, why is there no one here again?!"
"Did you hear me wrong?! It's so late and cold, who would walk around outside at this time of the night?!"
"Don't mention it, I think I heard it too."
"Then why didn't I hear it?!"
The footsteps that Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan had just heard soon arrived at the place where they had just disappeared. Three men with their heads and faces covered stood there, talking in confusion and looking around.
Except for this side which was blocked by a big tree, the other sides were completely unable to hide anyone.
But clearly, they did seem to hear the sound of footsteps just now.
"It must be you two who are listening. Where is there anyone here?!"
The man who didn't trust his two companions grumbled, thinking that they were too suspicious. They hadn't even entered the mountain yet. How could they be more scared after entering the mountain?!
"Maybe, maybe I heard it wrongly. Those should be the footsteps of the three of us."
The other man was also hesitant at this moment, thinking that he was overthinking it. It was especially quiet, and it was possible that he heard his own footsteps.
After he said this, the other man who was more certain than him just now also suspected that he had heard it himself. Indeed, in addition to the sound of their footsteps, the breathing of the three of them was also quite loud when they walked.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's just get these good things into the mountain first."
This was something they had worked so hard to obtain, and it was very important.
The other two people also agreed very much and were eager to lead the way towards the mountain.
Two people were carrying the loads, and the other one was leading the way with a long object in his hand, heading straight towards the mountain that Qiao Jiuru and his production team often went to.
They had only been gone for a few minutes when Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan appeared. They looked at the direction where the three men disappeared.
"Huaiyuan, should we go over and take a look?!"
She felt that these three people didn't look like good people. They were here so late at night, carrying heavy things, and heading towards the mountain. They must be going to hide something.
"Too dangerous."
Su Huaiyuan felt that it was worth following. They were now worried about food and clothing, and there were not many jewelry and money in the space, so there was no need to take the risk.
Moreover, the direction these three people were going must be the outskirts of the deep mountains, and they might go deep into the mountains.
He had just seen clearly that the man without the load was holding a gun.
The other two people were wearing thick clothes. Who knows if they were carrying guns or knives?!
"Forget it. We really didn't want to take the risk. Let's go back quickly."
She knew what her husband was thinking, and after a moment's thought, she decided that there was no need to take this risk.
Su Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt that his wife was very anxious and wanted to finish all the things at once, or to prepare them well. Being too radical was not a good thing.
Fortunately, his Aru was still like before, listening to him and never being a person who would do things his own way.
On the way back, the couple did not dare to be as casual as before. They walked and observed all the way. It took them half an hour to walk this distance.
When they got home, they found that their son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons were still awake and waiting for them to come back.
"We will continue to chop wood tomorrow. Xiaowan should stay at home to take care of the two treasures. You should pay attention to safety at home and lock the door when you go to bed. We will be back early tomorrow."
The three people he met just now made Qiao Jiuru feel that the mother and her two children were very safe at home, so it would be better for them to come back early.
Su Huaiyuan also agreed. He was just about to propose it to Aru, but he didn't expect that she would think of it first.
Zhou Wanwan always listened to her parents-in-law and did whatever they told her to do. Today, her sister-in-law sent a package and money to her family on her behalf, and she decided in her heart that she would always listen to her parents-in-law.
Bang.
Bang bang bang.
late at night.
Just when everyone was sleeping soundly, gunshots were suddenly heard from the deep mountains and old forests in the distance.
The silent night was broken by continuous and intensive gunfire, waking up many people.
After the gunshots, the howling of wolves was heard in the deep mountains.
After being awakened by the gunshots, Uncle Jiu and Bai Lianshan immediately got up and walked outside, staring intently at the deep mountains behind their production team.
Someone in the deep mountains encountered a pack of wolves. Who was it? ! He went into the deep mountains at night with a gun. He must be a good person and it must be a good thing.
However, no matter what is in the deep mountains, they can go there now, so let the wolves and those people fight.
The sound of gunfire and wolf howling continued for a while, and then there was no more movement.
Jiushu and Bai Lianshan stood in their respective homes, looking towards the mountains, listening carefully until they could hear nothing. After a long time, they turned around and went into the house to sleep.
However, after daybreak, they had to organize people to go into the mountains.
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huai were closest to the mountain, so naturally they could hear it most clearly than Bai Lianshan.
After being awakened, the couple listened carefully to the noise outside. They did not go back to sleep until they heard any sound.
If the sky falls, there are others to hold it up.
What happens in this mountain has nothing to do with people like them.
Early the next morning, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan got up to make breakfast. Before breakfast was ready, they saw Uncle Jiu and Bai Lianshan and their men passing by on the road next to their house.
"No one came to your place last night?!"
Bai Lianshan looked at their expressions and asked with concern.
This place is still a little far from where other people live. I thought it was a good place before, very suitable for the Su family, but now I don't think so.
"Captain, no one passed by last night. There are still not many people living here. Even bad guys will see the situation and go to a more remote place."
Su Huaiyuan understood that Bai Lianshan had deliberately passed by them because he was worried that they had met bad guys, and he immediately felt extremely grateful.
"He's right. I live here too, only a hundred meters away. Others live only a few dozen meters away from me, and there are so many families here. Unless you really want to hold someone hostage, you can just take this road to enter the mountain."
Uncle Jiu was actually worried about Su Huaiyuan's family. His home was more than ten minutes away from the foot of the mountain.
He was worried about the wild beasts in the mountains, fearing that they would come down the mountain and cause trouble, but the Su family did not have hunting rifles.
"Okay, we heard gunshots and wolves howling in the mountains last night. We need to go into the mountains to see what's going on. You guys go chop wood today, but don't go too deep. Also, be sure to find more people to go with you."
Bai Lianshan thought about it and said that everyone was busy going into the mountains to cut firewood and find mountain products. Something happened in the deep mountains last night, so everyone had to be careful.
Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru nodded quickly. In fact, they didn't need him to pay, which was what they had been doing recently.
Uncle Jiu did not go into the mountain with Bai Lianshan and the other dozens of strong laborers. Instead, he sent them to the foot of the mountain and watched them climb up the mountain before returning.
